In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, black pepper, dried parsley, salt, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.

Place the bite-sized chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour lemon juice, making sure to coat each piece.

Add the seasoning blend to the chicken pieces and mix well, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the chicken to develop a brown crust on each side. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet, and cook in batches if necessary.

Once the chicken is fully cooked and browned on the outside, remove the skillet from heat and serve the Zesty Lemon Pepper Chicken Delights hot.
